IMPORTANT: Bearings must always be replaced
in sets of a cone and a cup.
!
CAUTION
Be sure to wear safety glasses when removing or
installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply may result
in serious eye injury.
When replacing the bearing cup proceed as follows:
1. Place the hub on a flat work surface with the cup to be
replaced on the bottom side.
2. Using a brass drift punch,
carefully tap around the
small diameter end of the
cup to drive out.
3. After cleaning the hub bore
area, replace the cup by
tapping in with the brass
drift punch.
Be sure the cup
is seated all the way up
against the retaining
shoulder in the hub.
Bearing Lubrication - Grease
Along with bearing adjustment, proper lubrication is essential to
the proper function and reliability of your trailer axle. Bearings
should be lubricated every 12 months or 12,000 miles. The
method to repack bearing cones is as
follows:
1. Place a quantity of grease into
the palm of your hand.
2. Press a section of the widest
end of the bearing into the outer
edge of the grease pile closest
to the thumb forcing grease into
the interior of the bearing.
